Georgia Europe Joint Pavilion at Shanghai World Expo 2010

Georgia is located the Caucasus region, which marks the border between Asia and Europe - a location which has given the country a long and rich cultural heritage. This was brought to life by the theme of the Georgia Pavilion: ‘Close Ties Between Nature, Scenery and Cultural Relics’. Pico was in charge of the pavilion’s interior decoration, the most complex element of which was its central courtyard dominated by a giant ‘grape tree’, symbolizing for Georgians the soul of the city. Four display alcoves also brought visitors closer to the country's magnificent historic relics, culture, natural scenery, cities and towns, seacoast and ski resorts.
